This would be a horrible world if every one would always tell the truth. 
Like Gandhi used to say: "Truth is the only thing that can hurt".

... You don't get it. Just because you don't lie doesn't mean you're telling the truth. It is the 'You look beautiful' to the 'Does this make me look fat?' You tell the truth, but you never answer her question, thus not lying. Just avoiding. That is what I am trying to distinguish.
That's where the Japanese language shines - it has a multitude of sentences and word structures meant solely for the purpose of answering questions without actually saying anything. That's because in Japan it is considered impolite to actually tell your opinion, even when people have asked for it. Isn't that neat? 
... Must... Learn... Japanese...
English and Japanese grammar have a lot in common. You might be surprised. But in sentence structure, it might be closer to German (verb is the last part). ^^
Makes sense, considering the politeness/political correctness of the British 
LOL
Cool... Thanks for the education!
